Many enterprises often need to convert a large number of OFD electronic invoices into image format in bulk during reimbursement archiving, financial sorting, invoice verification, and cross-system document uploading. If you manually open and save them one by one, it is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. This article will use the actual interface of the office software " HeSoft Doc Batch Tool " to clearly explain how to batch convert multiple OFD files to JPG images, including applicable scenarios, before-and-after effects, specific operation steps, and common considerations. After reading, you can quickly complete OFD-to-image tasks, suitable for processing batch files such as electronic invoices, voucher attachments, and archival materials.
In the scenarios of financial reimbursement, electronic invoice archiving, material uploading, and cross-platform viewing, converting OFD electronic invoices to images is a very common requirement. Many systems or communication scenarios are more suitable for directly using JPG images rather than retaining the original OFD format. Especially when you have dozens or hundreds of electronic invoices on hand, processing them one by one is not only troublesome but also takes up a lot of time.
If you need to batch convert many OFD electronic invoices to images, the method introduced in this article is very suitable. Taking the office software HeSoft Doc Batch Tool as an example, follow the actual interface operation process to complete the entire process from importing OFD files to outputting JPG images.
Applicable Scenarios
Batch OFD to JPG image conversion is typically applicable to the following office scenarios:
- Financial Reimbursement Archiving: Uniformly convert OFD electronic invoices into images for easy uploading to reimbursement systems or archiving.
- Invoice Material Organization: OFD invoices sent by multiple suppliers need to be uniformly organized into image format for easy viewing and classification.
- Cross-System Uploading: Some business platforms, OA systems, or third-party tools do not support direct OFD uploads and only accept image formats like JPG, PNG.
- Communication and Circulation: When sending to colleagues, clients, or auditors, image format is more intuitive and has a lower barrier to open.
- Batch File Processing: Process multiple OFD files at once, reducing repetitive clicks and manual conversion operations.
Effect Preview: Before and After Processing
Before Processing: Files are electronic invoices in .ofd format, usually requiring specialized software to open and view.
After Processing: Files are batch converted to JPG images, easy for previewing, sending, uploading, printing, or inserting into office documents like Word, Excel, PPT.
From the interface, the goal of this feature is clear: batch convert OFD files to JPG format images. For standard format files like electronic invoices, this processing method is very suitable for daily office use.
Operation Steps
Step 1: Enter the "OFD to JPG Image" Feature
After opening HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , find the corresponding module on the feature homepage.
As seen from the screenshot, the feature cards on the homepage include "2. OFD Convert to JPG Image". Click this feature directly to enter the batch conversion interface.
Purpose of this step: Enter the correct processing tool to prepare for the OFD to image conversion task.
Expected result: The page navigates to the "OFD Convert to JPG Image" operation interface.
Step 2: Add OFD Electronic Invoice Files to Process
After entering the feature page, the software will first stay at the "1 Select records to process" step.
The top right of the interface shows the following buttons:
- Add Files
- Import Files from Folder
- Clear
- More
If you are only processing a small number of electronic invoices, you can click Add Files to manually select multiple OFD files; if your invoices are centrally located in the same directory, it is more suitable to click Import Files from Folder for a one-time batch import.
After importing, the list will display for each file:
- Serial Number
- Name
- Path
- Extension
- Creation Time
- Modification Time
If a particular file does not need processing, you can delete it individually in the "Actions" column.
Purpose of this step: Add all OFD electronic invoices to be converted into the task list uniformly.
Expected result: The interface displays the complete OFD file list, with the record count visible at the bottom, such as "Record Count: 4" in the screenshot. After confirming there are no errors, click Next Step at the bottom.
Step 3: Set Processing Options
After entering "2 Set Processing Options", you can configure the output image method.
As seen from the screenshot, this page mainly has the following options:
1. Set Processing Scope
In "Processing Scope", you can choose:
- All Pages
- The first few pages
- The last few pages
- Odd pages
- Even pages
- Custom
For most OFD electronic invoice to image scenarios, it is usually appropriate to select All Pages directly. The screenshot also shows "All Pages" selected.
Purpose of this step: Determine which pages of each OFD file need to be converted into JPG images.
Expected result: The software will execute the batch conversion according to the page range you selected.
2. Set Image Pixel Density (PPI)
In the "Image Pixel Density (PPI)" field, the screenshot shows 300 filled in.
This usually means the output images will have a relatively clear display effect, suitable for invoice viewing, archiving, and pre-print preview.
Purpose of this step: Control the clarity of the output JPG images.
Expected result: The generated images maintain a relative balance between clarity and file size. For documents like electronic invoices, 300 PPI is usually a practical setting.
3. Whether to Stitch Multiple Pages into a Long Image
The interface also has the "Stitch multiple pages into one very long image" option, displayed as a toggle switch.
If your OFD file has multiple pages and you want the final output to be one long image, you can enable it; if you want each page output as an independent JPG image, keep it closed. In the screenshot, this option is in the closed state.
Purpose of this step: Decide the output form of multi-page OFDs, whether as separate page images or a long image.
Expected result: Get more suitable image results based on your archiving or uploading needs.
After completing the settings, click Next Step at the bottom to continue the subsequent process.
Step 4: Set Save Location and Start Processing
From the process progress bar, you can see there are two more steps: "3 Set Save Location" and "4 Start Processing". Although the screenshots do not show the detailed content of these two pages, based on the interface flow, it is reasonable to judge that next you just need to:
- Select the save directory for the converted JPG images;
- Confirm the task settings;
- Start batch processing.
Purpose of this step: Specify the output location and officially execute the OFD to JPG task.
Expected result: The software automatically completes the image conversion for multiple OFD electronic invoices in batch, without the need for manual processing one by one.
Frequently Asked Questions or Notes
1. Should electronic invoices choose "All Pages" or specific pages?
If the invoice content is complete and has few pages, prioritize selecting All Pages. If you only need the cover page, first page, or only extract partial content, then choose the first few pages, last few pages, or a custom range as needed.
2. Is a higher PPI setting always better?
Not necessarily. The higher the PPI, the clearer the image usually is, but the file size may also be larger. If mainly used for viewing and general archiving, 300 PPI is usually quite suitable. If only for web upload or temporary circulation, you can weigh the trade-offs based on actual needs.
3. Should multi-page OFD invoices be stitched into a long image?
If the subsequent usage scenario is sending via chat, continuous viewing, or one-time screenshot retention, a long image might be more convenient; if you need to upload page by page, verify page by page, or save categorized separately, it is recommended to keep the output as separate pages.
4. How to improve efficiency during batch import?
When many OFD electronic invoices are all located in the same folder, using Import Files from Folder directly will be more efficient, avoiding adding them one by one.
5. Check the file list before conversion
Before starting the process, it is recommended to check the file names, paths, and record count to ensure no other OFD files are mistakenly added and no electronic invoices that need conversion are missed.
